The Spark of Stillness: How Candle Wish Ignited a Journey of Intention

How Candle Wish Was Born

Every candle has a story, and so does Candle Wish. Ours began with a simple desire: to create more than just a beautiful candle, but a meaningful experience that brings light, intention, and a sense of possibility into everyday life.

A Moment of Stillness

For a long time, I struggled to meditate and find a moment to truly focus. My days were busy, my mind was scattered, and my thoughts seemed to be everywhere at once. It felt almost impossible to pause and be present.

One evening, after the kids had finally gone to bed and the house was quiet, I found myself sitting in the soft glow of a candle. Without even realising it, I spent twenty minutes just staring at the flame. Those were the best twenty minutes I’d had in years—twenty minutes of calm, clarity, and unexpected peace.

I’d heard about candle meditation before, but I’d never actually tried it. That night, something clicked. I realised how powerful a simple candle could be—not just as an ornament, but as a tool for mindfulness and focus.

The Birth of Candle Wish

That experience inspired me to create something more than just another candle. I wanted to design a candle that could help others find those rare moments of stillness, too. A candle with a purpose—a message that would keep you anchored in your dreams, even when life feels overwhelming.

Every Candle Wish is crafted with this intention. Made from 100% soy wax right here in New Zealand, each candle is paired with a thoughtful message to guide your focus and support your manifestation practice. It’s more than a source of light; it’s a gentle reminder to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what matters most.

More Than a Candle

Candle Wish is about creating mindful rituals in the midst of everyday life. Lighting a candle becomes a moment to reflect, to set an intention, and to nurture your dreams. My hope is that each Candle Wish brings you the same sense of calm and clarity that I found on that quiet evening—and helps you stay anchored in your own wishes, no matter where your journey takes you.
